Soundgarden Stream Previously Unreleased Track

(Classic Rock) Soundgarden have streamed a previously-unreleased studio outtake of their track Birth Ritual. It appears on the 25th anniversary edition of Badmotorfinger, which arrives on November 18.

The project has been two years in the making after Soundgarden launched an extended version of Superunknown in 2014. Guitarist Kim Thayil said at the time: "Badmotorfinger had an impact with listeners, but also with guitarists, drummers and singers - people who started bands. It definitely deserves the same kind of treatment we're giving Superunknown."

Meanwhile, the band continue work on their next album, tentatively scheduled for launch in 2017. Thayil recently said: "Over the past year we've had a number of songwriting and jam sessions, getting together to exchange ideas and document and record them. We have some rough demos of a dozen or so songs.

"We'll continue to do this as everyone's schedule opens up, and hopefully by next year we'll find ourselves in the studio fleshing out these ideas." Read more here.
